The replacement header gaskets were sent last Monday and they used UPS for the shipping. I thanked the company for warranting the gaskets but I said I wished they sent the gaskets by USPS or by FedEx and I would have paid the extra cost. The rep for the Remflex said she had the same opinion of UPS. So I get these multiple useless emails from UPS telling me that the package with get here before the end of day tomorrow. I just told them again not to bother me with any emails and that UPS stand for Useless Piece of sh*t.

The sway bar bracket kit I bought on Amazon took 5 days to get here from the US. UPS is taking 8 days

Here is the trip the gaskets took...

I have my Summit Racing account set up so my stuff is either Fed Ex or US Cargo since they both deliver on Saturday, I got tired of watching my boxes arrive late on a Friday morning at a UPS distribution center that is 3 miles from my house and then I don't get them until Monday.

I thought it may be delivered to the UPS center in my area on Friday so I tried to change the delivery so I could pick it up on Friday. The UPS website said that option was available but when I tried to do it they said that option was not available. These were shipped unter warranty so I had no say in who was going to deliver them.I set it up with a local speed shop that he was going to get me a set and I just drop off the gasket when it arrives. The delivery he got on Friday was short the gasket set and he only realized they charged him for the gaskets but never delivered them when I went in to pick them up....I looked at getting the cooper ones you mentioned or the percy's aluminum but no one in this country carried them in stock.

I've work for UPS for 24 years now. All I can do is request that people stop shipping through us! We got WAY too much volume these days and ( in my building ) are NOT equipped or properly staffed to do the job right. It's a freaking nightmare there!

I try to avoid using UPS whenever possible,the extra charges that they add on for border & customs clearance is unreal.
I prefer to wait a bit longer and use USPS and I have also found that FedEx is pretty good too.

Well to jump on the band wagon .

A work UPS story. A print supplier from the Pittsburgh area loads a trailer with 26 skids ,23,220 lb of print on July 5 2018.
tracking system shows scheduled delivery of July 9 2018 in Toronto.
trailer moves to Harrisburg on the 6 th......................where it sits till July 11 , finally lands on my dock July 12 .

the tracking site , still shows a scheduled delivery of the 9 th.

But companies still ship with them ...why ? cost ?
